Intro (Play Riff):
| [G] | [Em] | [G] | [Em] |
| [G] | [Em] | [G] | [Em] |
[G] I get up in the [Em] evenin'
[G] And I [Em] ain't got nothin' to [G] say
I come home in the [Em] mornin'
[G] I go to bed, [Em] feelin' the same [C] way
I ain't nothin' but [Am] tired
[C] Man I'm just [Am] tired and bored with my- [G] self
Hey there [Em] baby, [G] I could [Em] use just a little [D] help
You can't start a [D] fire
[D] You can't start a fire without a [C] spark
This gun's for [Am] hire
[C] Even if we're just [Am] dancin' in the
Play Riff
| [G] dark [Em] | [G] | [Em] |
[G] Messages keep gettin' [Em] clearer
[G] Radio's on and I'm [Em] movin' 'round the [G] place
I check my look in the [Em] mirror
[G] I wanna change my [Em] clothes, my hair, my [C] face
Man I ain't gettin' [Am] nowhere
[C] I'm just [Am] livin' in a dump like [G] this
There's somethin' happenin' [Em] somewhere
[G] Baby [Em] I just know that there [D] is
You can't start a [D] fire
[D] You can't start a fire without a [C] spark
This gun's for [Am] hire
[C] Even if we're just [Am] dancin' in the
Play Riff

| [G] | [Em] | [G] | [Em] |
BRIDGE:
[Em] You sit around getting [G] older
[C] There's a joke here some- [D] where and it's on [Em] me
I'll shake the world off my [G] shoulders
[C] Come on baby the [D] laugh's on me
[G] Stay on the streets of [Em] this town
[G] And they'll be [Em] carvin' you up al- [G] right
They say you gotta stay [Em] hungry
[G] Hey baby I'm [Em] just about starvin' to- [C] night
I'm dyin' for some [Am] action
[C] I'm sick of sittin' around [Am] here tryin' to write this [G] book
I need a love re- [Em] action
[G] Come on, [Em] baby gimme just one [D] look
You can't start a [D] fire
[D] Sittin' round, cryin' over a broken [C] heart
This gun's for [Am] hire
[C] Even if we're just [Am] dancin' in the [D] dark
You can't start a [D] fire
[D] Worryin' about your little world fallin' a- [C] part
This gun's for [Am] hire
[C] Even if we're just [Am] dancin' in the [G] dark [Em]
[G] Even if we're just [Em] dancin' in the [G] dark [Em]
[G] Even if we're just [Em] dancin' in the [G↓] dark
#Capo on 4th fret to try with original. It's much more singable for the guys in this key (G).
